You could have also made a video about Gender and Growth in general, there is a really interesting article about the economic importance of women´s paid and non paid work in subsaharan Africa.
Well... Evita Peron, Isabel Martinez de Peron, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Indira Ghandi, Benazir Bhutto, Michelle Bachelet, it is not easy to buy for me the idea that women equal less corruption :)
Also it entirely depends on ones definition of corruptions. If say unequal treatment under the law is a form of corruption, men would be the receiving end on that one pretty often. Such as longer sentencing for the exact same crime, no legal rights in terms of reproduction and so on now is that a correlation with rise of women in politics? We don't know because it's hard to track that.
Exactly, that kind of issues made so difficult to discuss on "corruption" in general, definitions are tricky. Usually corruption is understood as actions of particulars against some law, but what about laws made by government to specifically benefit a group of friends harming others? It is hard to talk in general terms on corruption
The non paid work of women is very interesting and have many complexities. By example who pay? the husband, the government? Domestic work it is an intricate issue in economic terms, because the salary is mandatory when you are producing wealth for others and they give you a piece of the wealth you create, so who pay in this case? by logic the child may pay, but it is not practical.
